Rian Escobedo

Make My Woof Happy

Pet Owner
in Tampa

My name is Rian Escobedo, and I have a dog (more of my mother's) whom is named Savannah (Savvy for short.) She is well groomed, very nice, does not bite, but does chase, well trained, has been owned by two other owners besides us, and is a full breed Boxer, female. She has had her shots and is fixed, she has moles on her body, not to worry, and so far no medical issues, however I have not seen a vet in a bit (on a list of priorities.)
My mother received Savvy about 5 years ago, that would maker her around 7-8 years of age, and sadly, as well known, she comes close to the end of her life span. She is a wonderful dog and likes people very well, no matter the person and no matter the bark. My mom works plenty of hours at her job, and spends a good portion of her brain there as well, so she will always be tired once she comes home. I have very little esteem about myself and I am also suffering from depression, so it is very hard to take care of an animal, as far as walking and going out with them.
What I am asking for someone, anyone who is kind, smart, or knowledgeable of dogs (as long as you don't harass her or us), is to walk her, take her to the park, or even take her to the beach, as she loves water. She is very dog friendly, so please, if you can, introduce my pet to many other animals, but beware, she has chased cats, and she has bitten one of my friend's dogs on the rear (his dog was younger, but wasn't threatening, probably old age from my dog's part.) I just want her to be happy and to enjoy life while she still can, and I am feeling guilty of not taking her out and letting her run around and enjoy the the outside, sniffing and learning.
She is old, so she does get tired of running, but I have never seen her become tired of walking or sniffing when I have taken her out, and she loves to check out every little thing possible. You will have to direct her not to get close to trash/garbage, and please be cautious around other animals, whether she likes them or not, I have not had good encounters with animal to animal meetings (or at least I am unsure) and would rather not have a law suit. You will not have to babysit her, feed her, or groom her, but if you would like to pet and brush her, that is fine. I am in the process of getting her nails trimmed hopefully soon, and by the time someone reads this, unless it is within a week (4/21), she should have them done.
Anyone is welcome to the job, as long as you are kind to her and my family, but I have not much to worry about, since I believe vividly that dog lovers are usually the sweetest peeps I know. Shout out a price to me, and I will bargain or accept, but I do have a flexible budget. I would like her walked at least 3 times a day, and if possible, taken to the park or beach every now and then (beach not required, I do not know the rules of dog sitting.) As I said, she is very friendly and trained, so it is not likely for her to run away from the person handling her, as she will probably be to scared to become lost and alone. If she does take off, stay put, she knows her way around and she will find you. If you do decide to go leash less (such as the beach) I would recommend several days of getting along with her prior, so she becomes use to you and your scent.
Thank you for your time reading this, and double if you contact me.
